That is like 20 years! I love my kids so much...but why in the world do I have to remind them to do EVERYTHING? Seriously.
My kids were born in 91 and 98. Many years before my problem began in spring of 2004. So now at age 19 and 12, you would think they would remember to, oh, I dont know...brush their teeth in the morning?
I mean really! I love my kids, but sometimes it seems like they are the young boys that I had to remind "take a bath! you are covered with dirt"! (the good old days!)
WAIT...
Will someone tell me how in one sentence I went from the EVIL queen mother, complaining about how much they drive me nuts...to reminiscing when they were young boys. I loved taking them to the park every year...And we practically lived in the local pool.
I guess that is motherhood...no matter how tired you get. They will always be the babies you pushed around the neighborhood in a stroller. I love both my children and I know that I am a better person knowing them.
Awwww, think I got a toothache...SOOOOO SWWEEETTTT!

Kiss then Tell
Well, living with this disease has given me many challenges, I think having a relationship is one of the biggest.
Living alone for so long, you get used to the solitude. And I think growing older you discover a newly found appreciation for space and privacy. But there are times when I just want some company!
Don't get me wrong, my life now is good. I am generally very happy. I know that I don't need a man to be happy, but the desire to have a partner never changes. And now I have to be so much more intellectual about who I kiss and who I tell.
When I was first diagnosed with HIV, I (guess) I was lucky because the man who gave it to me was a long time bf. He was there from day one and even tho we haven't been together in years, he still stops by once or twice a year to see how I am doing. I like that. It makes me feel good, that he still cares.
Things with that man were very complicated and he was young. After a few years, I just couldn't take the issues anymore. It helped that I had discovered dating websites for HIV + people online. I felt like my options had opened up a bit and that gave me the courage to finally let him go.
My next shot at love was with another positive man who lived in the Midwest.
And here I am going to stop for now...
